[0004] It is known that the outer layers of human skin can be caused to peel by applying preparations to remove dead skin without wounding underlying living skin tissue. The beneficial result of such skin peeling is that when underlying layers of new skin are exposed, the new skin is relatively free of wrinkles, dryness, pigmentation, and aging spots, and the skin is more youthful looking. Removing old, dead, skin cells, to expose younger looking skin, can be accomplished by exfoliating, since exfoliation removes only dead skin cells from the skin surface and does not wound living cells.

[0005] Various attempts have been made to utilize hydroxyacids in skin care products, as disclosed in the cited prior art. However, it should be noted that none of the cited prior art discloses use of hydroxyacids, safflower oil, flaxseed oil, organic beeswax, and tincture of benzoin to facilitate peeling and exfoliation in a moist, hydrating manner, as this present invention does.

[0006] The cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry is continually expanding its efforts in order to provide topical preparations which will exfoliate and peel the skin, eliminate dryness, wrinkles, photoaging, and restore the skin to a smooth condition, thus the combinations of skin aggravating synthetic compositions employed continue to increase yearly.

[0007] Synthetic surfactants, silicones, ammonia, alcohol's, solvents, artificial colors, hydrogen peroxide, esters, kojic acid, hydrocarbons, fungicides, mineral oils, bicarbonates, sulfurs, zinc complexes, salicylic acid, petrolatum, retinoids, enzymes, gums, tannic acid, polymers, dyes, and in-organic fragrances, and the like are being incorporated into the compositions of the cited prior art that are supplied to salons, stores, and supermarkets.

[0008] It will be appreciated that the expansion and growth of the cited prior art has devolved into highly complex synthetic adjuvants for use in the formulations.

[0009] The problem with the use of the compositions of the cited prior art which make up the bulk of transdermal delivery systems are their chemical structures which are known to cause skin irritations and skin sensitivities.

[0010] Synthetic surfactants, silicones, ammonia, alcohol's, solvents, artificial colors, hydrogen peroxide, esters, kojic acid, hydrocarbons, fungicides, mineral oils, bicarbonates, sulfurs, zinc complexes, salicylic acid, petrolatum, retinoids, enzymes, gums, tannic acid, polymers, dyes, acetones, and inorganic fragrances, incorporated into the compositions of the prior art cause dryness of the skin, rashes, allergies, dermatitis, bleeding, itching, painful cracking, peeling, and flaking of the skin.

[0011] Unfortunately, the cited prior art compositions are relatively ineffective for allowing the treatment of conditions related to sensitive and allergic skin reactions to silicones, ammonia, alcohol's, solvents, artificial colors, hydrogen peroxide, esters, kojic acid, hydrocarbons, fungicides, mineral oils, bicarbonates, sulfurs, zinc complexes, petrolatum, retinoids, enzymes, gums, tannic acid, polymers, dyes, acetones, and inorganic fragrances, so there is a need in the art for organic compounds for improved and useful skin care compositions to exfoliate the skin, without substantial irritation.

[0012] The said prior art compositions do not provide for exfoliation of skin in a gentle manner as does the present invention.

[0013] The said prior art compositions do not employ the massive quantities of cold-pressed organic vegetable oils, and organic beeswax, as does the present invention.

[0014] The said prior art compositions do not provide a moist exfoliation that enables dead skin cells to be shed without visible flaking, drying, facial tautness, and shedding of the skin.

[0015] The said prior art compositions do not provide compositions that employ hydroxyacids with high volumes of organic polyunsaturated oil lipids in their formualtions as does the present invention.

[0016] The said prior art compositions do not employ organic beeswax and hydroxyacids in their compositions as does the present invention.

[0017] The said prior art compositions do not employ tincture of benzoin, which is heated to remove its alcohol content as does the present invention.

[0018] The said prior art compositions do not provide satisfactory skin penetration of the acids of hydroxyacids due to the inability of mineral oil, silicon, and petrolatum based components to penetrate the dermis, thereby hindering immediate and sustained delivery of the hydroxyacids to the dermis.

[0019] In terms of effectiveness, the said cited prior art compositions do not provide satisfactory skin penetration and supplying properties to leave skin satiny smooth for up to twelve hours.

[0020] In terms of effectiveness, the said cited prior art compostions do not provide a composition that is resistant to body fluids, sebaceous activity and perspiration, as does the present invention.

[0021] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide the high volume of hydroxyacids mixed with the high volume of cold pressed organic safflower oil, flaxseed oil, and tocopheral linoleate in their formulations to restore essential oil lipids that are needed to sustain radiant, glowing skin during the employment of hyroxyacids.

[0022] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide the high volume of skin healing vitamin A and tocopheral linoleate compositions to their formulations due to the prohibitively expensive manufacturing costs.

[0023] The said cited prior art compositions do not boil tincture of benzoin to eliminate its alcohol content.

[0024] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide an urgent need that exists for compositions like the present invention to the dermatological, pharmaceutical, alternative therapy beauty, and cosmetology fields.

[0025] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic oil lipids and hydroxyacids compositions to alleviate and treat the symptoms of sensitive skin infirmities.

[0026] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide an organic, oily composition containing hydroxyacids for use in treating and alleviating, dry, aged, and photoaged, skin conditions, as does the present invention.

[0027] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic moisturizing compositions that render a water resistant, non-greasy, antiseptic film on the skin during dermal exfoliation.

[0028] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic compositions that are resistant to body fluids, sebaceous gland activity and perspiration.

[0029] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic compositions to provide a high volume of organic essential oil of lavender for anti-inflammatory qualities and to perfume the said compositions.

[0030] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide a high volume of organic safflower and flaxseed oils in the said compositions.

[0031] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide high volume organic compositions to replace lost oil lipids during exfoliation to the dermis.

[0032] The said cited prior art compositions do not provide gentle, organic compositions for adolescent use.

[0033] Objectives and advantages of the present invention are

[0034] a) to provide an organic exfoliating and peeling skin preparation,

[0035] b) to provide hyroxyacids, safflower oil, flaxseed oil, organic beeswax, and tincture of benzoin to facilitate peeling and exfoliation of the skin in a moist, hydrating manner;

The essential components of the present improved composition readily intermix to form an improved mixture suitable for topical applications to the skin. The present components are combined in such relative proportions so as to bring about a marked beautifying effect to the skin by supplying to the skin nutrients that are essential for healthy, radiant, skin. The present improved invention includes the surprising discovery that cold-pressed organic safflower and flaxseed oils, tincture of benzoin, high volumes of vitamins A and tocopheral linoleate and hydroxyacids, can be used as active principals in the improved moist exfoliation skin care composition to treat conditions attributed to wrinkled, irregularly pigmented, photoaged, dry, and thickened layers of the epidermis conditions.

[0088] In accordance with the present improved invention there is provided a formulation where cold-pressed, organic safflower oil, flaxseed oil, and tincture of benzoin can be employed with organic beeswax and hydroxyacids to aid in the water-resistant treatment and alleviation of skin conditions. The embodiment of the improved invention follow to illustrate the formulation.

[0089] The main ingredients of a first embodiment of this cream are:

[0090] 405 milliliters water,

[0091] 30 grams stearic acid,

[0104] 5 milliliters perfuming ingredient such as essential oil of lavender,

[0105] 1.25 grams borax granules,

[0106] 2 milliliters dmdm hydantoin,

[0107] 0.6 milliliters triethanolamine,

[0108] 0.6 milliliters tincture of benzoin,

[0109] The main ingredients of a second embodiment of this cream are:

[0110] from 5 to 2000 milliliters water,

[0111] from 20 to 800 milliliters composition comprising 92% lactic acid, 2% citrus (lemon and orange) extract, and 2% apple extract, 2% willow bark extract, and 2% green tea extract,

[0112] from 2 to 300 grams stearic acid,

[0113] from 1 to 300 grams beeswax,

[0114] from 2 to 400 grams cetearyl alcohol,

[0115] from 0.1 to 500 milliliters sweet almond oil,

[0116] from 0.1 to 600 milliliters cold-pressed safflower oil,

[0117] from 0.1 to 800 grams sodium behenoyl lactylate,

[0118] from 0.1 to 800 milliliters apricot kernel oil,

[0119] from 1 to 500 grams cocoa butter,

[0120] from 0.1 to 600 milliliters jojoba oil,

[0121] from 1 to 300 milliliters glycerin,

[0122] from 0.000.1 to 800 milliliters cold-pressed flaxseed oil,

[0123] from 0.001 to 300 milliliters perfuming ingredient,

[0124] from 0.001 to 300 milliliters tocopheral linoleate,

[0125] from 0.001 to 300 milliliters composition containing 30,000 micrograms vitamin A,

[0126] from 0.001 to 200 grams borax granules,

[0127] from 0.01 to 400 milliliters tetra sodium EDTA,

[0128] from 0.001 to 200 milliliters dmdm hydantoin,

[0129] from 0.001 to 500 milliliters triethanolamine; and

[0130] from 0.001 to 400 milliliters tincture of benzoin.

[0131] My cream mixing process is as follows:

[0132] placing safflower oil, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, tocopheral linoleate, vitamin A, jojoba oil, flaxseed oil, cetearyl alcohol and polysorbate 60, beeswax, stearic acid, cocoa butter and glycerin in a partially submerged container over hot water to form a mixture, stirring said mixture over hot water until dissolved;

[0133] simultaneously placing water, borax, lactic acid, and tincture of benzoin, in another partially submerged container over hot water to form a mixture;

[0134] stirring said mixture over hot water until dissolved, removing said mixtures from heat and blending both said mixtures until said second mixtures cool to 35 degrees C;

[0135] adding perfuming ingredient, triethanolamine, and dmdm hydantoin to mixture;

[0136] and blending mixture until it thickens, whereby the ingredients are formed into a cream base.

[0137] It is believed that the moisturising, exfoliating, softening, long term delivery properties of organic cold-pressed flaxseed oil, organic cold-pressed safflower oil, and the high volume of vitamins A and tocopheral linoleate, combined with lactic acid and tincture of benzoin, emulsified in organic beeswax are responsible for the moist exfoliation of the skin, but we don't wish to be bound by this.

[0138] As noted, the improved composition hereof comprises a water-resistant, topical application which is applied to the dermal areas of the body to alleviate, treat, and manage skin conditions, such as wrinkled, irregularly pigmented, aged, photoaged, and thickened layers of the epidermis, by feeding aged skin the essential polyunsaturated oil lipids it needs to maintain its healthy condition, whilst supplying to the skin, deeply penetrating oil lipids that act as swft delivery vehicles for acids of hyroxyacids to institute a moist, invisible, exfoliation of the skin cells.

[0139] This improved formulation is highly effective for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use in the treatment and management of skin conditions, such as wrinkled, irregularly pigmented, aged, photoaged, and thickened layers of the epidermis, and the like, due to the resistance of the formulation to attack by body liquids, sebaceous oils and perspiration, thereby permitting sustained advantageous skin absorbtion of the hyroxyacids.

[0140] This improved formulation provides a water-resistant, light-weight, invisible compostion that is preferred to be used during the daytime.

[0141] This improved formulation employs organic polyunsaturated oil lipids in the place of mineral oil, which is known for its lack of skin penetrating properties, thereby limiting delivery of hyroxyacids deep into the skin cells.

[0142] This improved formulation provides compositions like the present invention to the dermatological, pharmaceutical, alternative therapy, beauty, and cosmetology fields.

[0143] This improved formulation provides a topical skin composition that is free of surfactants, silicones, ammonia, alcohol, solvents, artificial colors, hydrogen peroxide, esters, kojic acid, hydrocarbons, fungicides, mineral oil, bicarbonates, sulfurs, zinc complexes, petrolatum, retinoids, enzymes, gums, tannic acid, polymers, dyes, and non organic fragrances.

[0144] This improved formulation provides effective organic compounds and hydroxacids to exfoliate the skin without substantial irritation.

[0145] This improved formulation provides potent cold-pressed organic vegetable oils, and organic beeswax in the exfoliating and peeling composition.

[0146] This improved formulation provides a composition that enables dead skin cells to exfoliate without visible flaking, drying, peeling, facial tautness, and shedding of skin.

[0147] This improved formulation provides organic beeswax and hydroxyacids in the compositon.

[0148] This improved formulation provides high volumes of polyunsaturated oil lipids in the compositon.

[0149] This improved formulation provides tincture of benzoin, which is heated to eliminate its alcohol content.

[0150] This improved formulation provides an organic beeswax substance that bonds lubricating, hydrating, exfoliating compounds to the skin, thereby allowing sustained skin absorption of said constituents.

[0151] This improved formulation provides satisfactory skin penetration of the hydroxyacids without the use of mineral oil, silicon, and petrolatum.

[0152] This improved formulation provides effective treatment of conditions related to sensitive and allergic skin reactions to silicones, ammonia, alcohol, solvents, artificial colors, hydrogen peroxide, esters, kojic acid, hydrocarbons, fungicides, bicarbonates, sulfurs, zinc, retinoids, enzymes, gums, tannic acids, polymers, dyes, acetones, and inorganic fragrances.

[0153] This improved formulation provides an urgent need in the art for a compostion like the present invention.

[0154] This improved formulation provides satisfactory skin penetration properties that leave the skin satiny smooth for up to twelve hours.

[0155] This improved formulation provides a compostion that is resistant to body fluids, sebaceous activity, and perspiration.

[0156] This improved formulation provides the high volume of hydroxyacids, and organic oil lipids, that are essential to sustain radiant glowing skin during the exfoliating process.

[0157] This improved formulation provides a high volume of skin healing vitamin A and tocopheral linoleate.

[0158] This improved formulation provides tincture of benzoin as an antimicrobial.

[0159] This improved formulation provides organic oil lipids and hydroxyacids for symptoms of sensitive skin infirmites.

[0160] This improved formulation provides hyroxyacids and organic oil lipids in an oily composition for treating and alleviating, severely dry, aged, and photodamaged skin.

[0161] This improved formulation provides a water resistant, antiseptic film on the skin during exfoliation.

[0162] This improved formulation provides a high volume of organic oil for anti-inflammatory qualities and to perfume the present invention.

[0163] This improved formulation provides organic compostion to replace lost lipids from the skin during exfoliation.

[0164] This improved formulation provides provide gentle, organic, exfoliating compositions for adolescent use.

[0173] e) A teenage female suffering from severe acne, applied the composition to the skin of her face. After one nightly application, the skin exhibited no sign of reddness, pustules, or irritation the next morning. The said user, had been on anti-biotic, estrogen and retinol treatment to control her acne condition for the past two years, without relative success in controlling the acne. After one application of present invention, all signs of distressed skin infirmites were alleviated, and the skin was smooth, soft and glowing.

EXAMPLE 3

[0174] A fifty year old female user found that four daily applications of the cream, hastened exfoliation of her aged facial skin. Within three days, of four daily applications, user found that the dry, aged, skin, was replaced with fresh, radiant, skin cells.

EXAMPLE 4

[0175] A female user suffering from severely dehydrated skin, due in part to a heavy smoking habit, reported that the composition provided immediate, deep, moisturising benefits, that resulted in lines around her mouth being diminished, and her skin maintaining a glowing feature while exfoliation was taking place.

EXAMPLE 5

[0176] A fifty one year old female user, found that the present improved invention, did not aggravate her sensitive skin, and much to her delight, the present invention lightened the dark pigmented areas on her hands, and face, within fourteen days of twice daily use.

[0177] Thus, from the preceding it will be readily perceived by the reader that an urgent need exists for this improved composition for the alleviation of skin conditions denoted heretofore, but which also, can be used to prevent such conditions from occurring;

[0178] The improved composition provides:

[0179] a water-resistant, topical application to alleviate, treat, and manage skin conditions, such as wrinkled, irregularly pigmented, aged, photoaged, and thickened layers of the epidermis, by feeding aged skin the essential polyunsaturated oil lipids it needs to maintain its healthy condition, whilst supplying to the skin, deeply penetrating oil lipids that act as swft delivery vehicles for acids of hyroxyacids to institute a moist, invisible, exfoliation of the skin cells,

[0180] an improved formulation that is highly effective for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use in the treatment and management of skin conditions, such as wrinkled, irregularly pigmented, aged, photoaged, and thickened layers of the epidermis, and the like, due to the resistance of the formulation to attack by body liquids, sebaceous oils and perspiration, thereby permitting sustained advantageous skin absorbtion of the hyroxyacids,

[0181] an improved formulation that provides a light-weight, invisible compostion that is preferred to be used during the daytime,

[0182] an improved formulation that employs organic polyunsaturated oil lipids in the place of mineral oil, and petrolatum,

[0183] a need that exists for the improved formulation like the present invention to the dermatological, pharmaceutical, alternative therapy, beauty, and cosmetology fields,

[0184] a topical skin composition that is free of surfactants, ammonia, alcohol, solvents, artificial colors, hydrogen peroxide, esters, kojic acid, hydrocarbons, fungicides, bicarbonates, sulfurs, zinc complexes, petrolatum, retinoids, enzymes, gums, tannic acid, polymers, dyes, and non organic fragrances,

[0185] effective organic compounds and hydroxacids to exfoliate the skin without substantial irritation,

[0186] potent cold-pressed organic vegetable oils, and organic beeswax in the exfoliating composition,

[0187] a composition that enables dead skin cells to exfoliate without visible flaking, drying, peeling, facial tautness, and shedding of skin,

[0188] organic beeswax and hydroxyacids in the compositon,

[0189] high volumes of cold-pressed polyunsaturated oil lipids in the compositon,

[0190] tincture of benzoin, which is heated to eliminate its alcohol content,

[0191] organic beeswax to bond lubricating, hydrating, exfoliating compounds to the skin, thereby allowing sustained and deep skin absorption of said constituents,

[0192] satisfactory skin penetration of the hydroxyacids without the use of mineral oil, silicon, and petrolatum,

[0193] effective exfoliation treatment of conditions related to sensitive and allergic skin reactions to silicones, ammonia, alcohol, solvents, artificial colors, hydrogen peroxide, esters, kojic acid, hydrocarbons, fungicides, bicarbonates, sulfurs, zinc, retinoids, enzymes, gums, tannic acids, polymers, dyes, acetones, and inorganic fragrances,

[0194] satisfactory skin penetration properties that leave the skin satiny smooth for up to twelve hours,

[0195] a compostion that is resistant to sebaceous activity, and perspiration,

[0196] a high volume of hydroxyacids, and organic oil lipids, that are essential to sustain radiant glowing skin during the exfoliating process,

[0197] a high volume of skin healing vitamin A and tocopheral linoleate,

[0198] tincture of benzoin as an antimicrobial,

[0199] organic oil lipids and hydroxyacids for symptoms of sensitive skin infirmites,

[0200] hyroxyacids and organic oil lipids in an oily composition for treating and alleviating, severely dry, aged, and photodamaged skin,

[0201] a water resistant, antiseptic film on the skin during exfoliation,

[0202] a high volume of organic oil for anti-inflammatory qualities and to perfume the present invention,

[0203] an organic compostion to replace lost lipids from the skin during exfoliation; and

[0204] a gentle, organic, exfoliating compositions suitable for adolescent use.

[0205] While the above description contains many specificity's, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the improved invention, but merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this improved invention.

[0206] Many other variations are possible. For example, it is additionally possible to add to the present invention many other adjuvants such as ultraviolet filters, color pigments, pearling pigments, additional essential plant oils and perfuming ingredients, vitamins, antibiotics, and additional plant and vegetable oils and be within the purview of this invention.

[0207] Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined by the specification and the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
